Chapter 27: The Truth of Evolution
Outside the Shuntian Fort, inside the military camp tent in the Dragon City.
A rough wooden low table, a plate of peanuts, a plate of beast jerky, two plates of unknown wild vegetables, and a bottle of Moutai with a yellowed label.
Yang Zhaohui and Chi Hua sat on the floor opposite the table.
Yang Zhaohui gently raised the three-coin wine glass in his hand to Chi Hua, and then raised his head and drank it all.
Yang Zhaohui closed his eyes slightly and smacked his lips slightly, as if he was reminiscing about the mellow aroma of wine.
"I didn't expect Commander Yang to be a wine lover, how about changing the big bowl?" After Chi Hua drank all the wine in the cup, he looked at Yang Zhaohui with a smile.
Yang Zhaohui shook his head gently, "I'm old, I can't compare to you young people." If you go back 20 years, you will win or lose in this wine anyway. β
"Commander Yang said with a smile, you are in the year of the tiger and wolf, the general has made great achievements on the battlefield, and he has shown his heroism by drinking wine in a big bowl and eating meat."
Yang Zhaohui slowly picked up a peanut, crushed the red clothes, threw it into his mouth, and then glanced at Chi Hua, "Your generation has read too many fantasy fairy tale novels, and you still drink wine and eat meat in big bowls?" At my age, it was a fluke to survive an unknown virus, and now it is a great satisfaction to be able to drink with peanuts. As he spoke, he pushed the beast meat on the table in front of Chi Hua.
Yang Zhaohui inadvertently mentioned the unknown virus, Chi Hua suddenly thought for a moment, "Commander Yang, you are in a high position, does the country have some secret information about this unknown virus, and what is the cause of this world-wide nuclear war?" β
Yang Zhaohui smiled bitterly and drank the wine in the cup again, "If the country had some information in advance or could have foreseen this all-out nuclear war in advance, would there still be this kind of situation where demons are rampant, precarious, and wars and strife on the land of China?" β
Chi Hua held the wine glass and was speechless for a while.
Yang Zhaohui sighed and continued: "I know that the Chi City Lord has been chasing the cause of the virus and the outbreak of the nuclear war, and I, Huaxia Dragon City, are also doing the same thing. Combing through some of the information and signs we had before and after the war, we have sorted out some clues. β
Chi Hua's eyes lit up, and he stared at Yang Zhaohui intently.
"The unknown virus we call doesn't actually exist, and several of the state's most advanced laboratories have dissected countless corpses, but have never found any foreign viruses. Regarding the causes of a large number of human deaths, comparing the dead cases with the surviving cases, they came to the final conclusion that human genes were mutated and recombined, or optimized, under the influence of an unknown substance, because the recombinant genes made humans more athletic, nervous responses faster, and the body more resistant to the external environment. Deaths are the product of genetic mutations. β
Chi Hua thought about Yang Zhaohui's words seriously, and there was still a trace of doubt in his eyes.
"The vast majority of scientists, including myself, agree with this conclusion. For example, the principle of gene therapy is to introduce exogenous normal genes into target cells to correct or compensate for diseases caused by gene defects and abnormalities, and ultimately achieve the purpose of curing patients' diseases. β
Chi Hua nodded lightly, obviously he also accepted this conclusion.
Yang Zhaohui continued: "Following this line, we began to look for the source of radiation. The unknown virus first broke out in Liberia, Sierra Leone, CΓ΄te d'Ivoire and other neighboring West African countries, and a week before the virus outbreak, there was a grand Perseid meteor shower, and most of the meteorite fragments of the meteor shower fell in West Africa. Therefore, we suspect that the source of radiation that affects human genetic recombination was brought from outer space by this meteor shower. β
Chi Hua's heart moved, and he remembered the "Source of Evolution" buried under the Phoenix City Barracks Academy, and he could now confirm the end of this evolution one hundred percent.
"The first cases of evolutionaries in the news media occurred in New York, USA, and in fact, the earliest cases of evolution also occurred in West Africa, but they did not go unnoticed at the time. The two are connected, and we finally conclude that the mysterious radiation from outer space brought by meteor showers has caused a large number of human beings to die and re-evolve. Like the mystery of the birth of mankind, the mystery of human evolution this time also stems from an accident! β
Chi Hua smiled, a wry smile? Giggle? Laughing with relief or laughing helplessly?
The root of all suffering was an accident.
"And what about a global nuclear war, is it also an accident?" One puzzle is solved, followed by another.
"There are never any surprises in a nuclear attack. Whether in the United States or Russia, the nuclear code is in the hands of the president, and it requires not only the password, but also multiple presidential identification, so the nuclear button will never be accidentally pressed. β
"And what about the nuclear attack that the United States initially provoked the war?"
"There's no way to explain it. However, we have a relatively reasonable guess that even the most powerful spies and agents will not be able to handle the password and identity verification process before the nuclear attack before the human ability awakens. But after the awakening of human abilities, an endless stream of various abilities appeared, and it seemed that nothing was impossible. β
The mysterious radiation led to the evolution of humanity and the awakening of supernatural abilities, which were then used by human evolutionaries to trick nuclear attack orders into starting a nuclear war.
In the dark, it seems that there is a causal connection between everything.
"Has Dragon City found out who is behind this conspiracy?" Chi Hua's hand holding the wine glass was already sweating slightly, and the mystery of nuclear war was only one step away.
But Chi Hua was destined to be disappointed, and the answer he got was only a long sigh from Yang Zhaohui.
"We don't have any clues or evidence about who started this eschatological war. But there are still several speculations: one is the Illuminati. For this behemoth, which has been passed down for thousands of years, the state security department has been secretly watching. The Illuminati have always advertised themselves as protecting the fate of mankind, but in order to achieve the goal of controlling the fate of mankind, these people are very likely to resort to the means of launching a full-scale nuclear war, after all, they have their shadow behind the outbreak of the First and Second World Wars. β
"The second is Heaven's Gate. It is a shame to say that before the end of the world, this cult organization did not enter the sight of national security and public security at all, but the rapid expansion of this organization, which had no foundation or influence in our country, after the outbreak of nuclear war, could not be explained by common sense at all. There is only one explanation, and that is that they knew in advance that a nuclear war would break out, and they made arrangements and preparations in advance. β
"Of course, this is just our unilateral speculation, and there may be other black hands or bigger conspiracies, but even if there is a 1% possibility, Dragon City will not choose to really cooperate with these two."
"Is. What about the Lan Jihadist Army? Chi Hua suddenly interjected.
"Oh, does Phoenix know about them too?" Yang Zhaohui was a little surprised.
"An American named Jerome came up to me and told me."
Yang Zhaohui nodded, and suddenly reminded with a serious face: "You'd better stay away from those Americans, they don't have any good intentions." β
Chi Hua smiled and didn't speak, waiting for Yang Zhaohui to continue.
"Behind those Central Asians is only *the next generation*, they are the sworn enemies of the Americans, and they hate the United States the most, so the Americans think they are the most suspicious. But I personally don't think they have the ability. β
"Didn't you just say that after the awakening of human abilities, nothing is impossible?"
Yang Zhaohui laughed and said, "What I said is just a personal feeling." In fact, Phoenix City should be grateful to those Central Asians, they have always been a headache for Yu Jianming, otherwise Phoenix City would not be facing part of the forces of Tianjin City. The biggest mistake Yu Jianming made was to provoke Phoenix before the Central Asians were addressed, and set up a powerful enemy for himself out of thin air. β
The former mortal enemies, the current temporary allies, and the future overlord of one side, the two sat on the ground like this, drinking slowly one by one like drinking friends for many years, chatting about some anecdotes seemingly casually, but every thing that came out was a shocking secret.
Yang Zhaohui picked up the wine bottle and shook it vigorously, and finally only poured out a small half glass of wine, and at this time a black face had become red, "This is one of my few stocks, if you want to drink Kweichow Moutai in the future, you have to rely on the city lord Chi." β
Chi Hua smiled, "Commander Yang is so confident that Murong Chaoyang can't take Tianjin City." β
Yang Zhaohui drank the last half of the wine, "Aren't you just as confident?" Yu Jianming, the old fox, is really anxious and a tiger. β
The two looked at each other and smiled.
......
There are three and a half heroes in the world in the last days, and Yu Jianming can only be regarded as half.
But Murong Chaoyang, the hero, was ruthlessly planted in front of half of him.
For the ambition of Dawning City, Tianjin City gave a strong response.
Tianjin City changed its previous strategy of avoiding no battle, first ambushing the vanguard of Dawning City, and then facing the main force of Dawning City head-on.
"Three tigers and four wolves" appeared on the battlefield at the same time, first severely injuring Qin Zishuang, and then working together to besiege and kill Murong Chaoyang.
The Blue Shark Escort came to the rescue in time, but it was still not as powerful as the "Three Tigers and Four Wolves", most of the escort team was killed, and Murong Chaoyang was seriously injured and fled.
I don't know what Jerome and Yu Jianming talked about, but apparently Yu Jianming didn't meet his request. Yu Jianming's 20,000 troops withdrawn from the southern border defense line and the 40,000 troops poured out of Tianjin City, and the 60,000 troops attacked the 30,000 troops of Dawn City, which had lost its commander.
Even though the Dawning City army was strong in individual combat, after losing the advantage of being one enemy and two and losing the advantage of the super strong, it still fled in rout, losing nearly one-third of its troops in the first battle.
The Dawning Army was defeated all the way thereafter, losing all the large areas it had previously occupied. It was not until Di Sheng and Murong Bin converged with Murong Chaoyang with 10,000 reinforcements that they stopped the defeat and regained their foothold on the Guizhou border.
How did Murong Chaoyang, who had always been arrogant and conceited, swallow this breath, reorganize his army, and once again draw strong men from the sphere of influence of Dawn City, vowing to fight Tianjin City to the end.
This apocalyptic war is heading for a situation that no one can predict.
